realtime chat with bot using data-star

Hello everyone,

in part 1 i made simple server side clock https://dev.to/blinkinglight/golang-data-star-1o53/

and now decided to write more complex things using https://nats.io and https://data-star.dev -

Chat bot which returns what you wrote to it:

some golang code:

package handlers

    "encoding/json"
